Marc Chagall is famous for his works inspired by Jewish folklore, and this museum reveals a deeply mystical poet in him. Chagall was born in Russia in 1887 and passed away near Nice at St Paul-de-Vence in 1985. His interpretations of the Bible are presented on vast canvasses, blending candid forms with a poetry of colors. The bright and spacious Musée Marc Chagall boasts some of the finest of his works. At the entrance, a small bookshop stocks a number of publications about Chagall and his art, as well as prints of his work.
Place Masséna is zonder twijfel het beroemdste, en meest statige plein van Nice. Het is omgeven met het contrasterende groen van de Albert I en Masséna tuinen, en de indrukwekkende roodgekleurde gebouwen vragen om bewondering. Tijdens Carnival is hier de Koningsvloot. Place Masséna is een van de centrale sleutelplaatsen van de stad. Vieux-Nice is gemakkelijk te bereiken, net zoals de zee en de belangrijkste winkelstraten. Je moet hier wel langs komen op een gegeven moment.

Though this cathedral is located in Nice, it is actually the property of the Russian Federation. The cathedral was founded and opened by Tsar Nicholas II in 1912, and is representative of Russia's presence in the Riviera. Like many of the area's visitors, Russian nobility found Nice to be utterly charming, and wanted to spend as much time there as possible. Thus, their Tsar founded a cathedral that they could attend while vacationing in France. Its coral colored facade ornamented with blue onion dome tops is reminiscent of Soviet architecture. Cathedrale Orthodoxe Russe St-Nicolas is one of the largest Russian Orthodox cathedrals in the western hemisphere. Visitors to the church can wander around the beautiful interiors or attend a service on Sundays.
Over the years, this theatre has become an institution. A lot of dedication and work goes into presenting the weighty year-long program presented by Henri Legendre, who is director, actor, and producer as the need arises. Generally, you'll see more classic, canonic plays here (like Molière or Sartre), but always presented with mastery and finesse. It's worth noting that Henri Legendre is a long-time friend of Arrabal. If you're lucky, you'll be in Nice for one of their astonishing performances. The théâtre de l'Alphabet is tiny; you'd better reserve your seats in advance.
Cannes' Protestant church is only open to visitors during Sunday service, which is held between 10:30a-11:30a. Built in 1874, the church (despite its austere interior) has impressive acoustics, which make it a much sought-after setting for organ recitals, chamber and classical music concerts in association with the MIDEM classique.
The sea, horizon, clouds, the movements of the paintings are light and like air... these motifs illustrate well the art that is presented at Mario Berrino's gallery.
